That first paragraph is so right. `tc` is as close to deep magic as anything I've come across in a Linux box.

The Fashion section attracted at least twice the proportion of blocked comments as any other section. Not exactly a section I'd associate with (presumably sexist and racist) straight white men. Articles about feminism attracted ver

Those are just two ends of a spectrum. There are plenty of ways to address this. Personally, I'd immediately end the drug war (thus massively alleviating single-motherhood in black communities) and look into changes to divorce/ali

What you've just said is pretty much identical to "if there were no laws, every company would charge $1 million for every product and there wouldn't be another option". Do you realize how utterly ridiculous that sounds?

Children will suffer either way. You can accept a relatively small amount of suffering and address the issue in the here and now (stigmatize the women, pose alternatives like adoption, thus set an example of what not to do) or you can go th

Don't you want to get the highest salary for a particular job? Don't you want to pay the lowest price for a particular product? Employers are just doing the same. So what if WalMart wants to hire someone for 3 cents an hour? Maybe

Want to know how much a 1br in SOMA / south beach is going for today? $3815 (mean of 292 listings)[0]. Three years ago, I was paying $500 less than that for a 2br new high end unit in the same neighborhood. Fucking ridiculous. I'm

Fiat money can be created out of thin air. Value cannot. Printing money and introducing it into circulation just imposes a hidden tax on other people. It doesn't address the issue posed by the OP.

People need room. And if people want room, who are you to say they shouldn't be able to have it? I'm not saying people shouldn't be able to have room. I just don't want to subsidize it.

I'm a bit confused when you say "these politicians allowed almost every white person to own a brand new house and brand new car". What business is it of politicians to prohibit people from owning a new home or car? What right

Maybe it wasn't the wisest idea for the state to fund an Interstate Highways System and all it's associated infrastructure 50+ years ago. I've always wondered what the U.S. would look like had we not taken that route. I suspe

You've noted something very interesting. People in the West seem to have forgotten the essence of government. Government is not a charity. For better or for worse, it's a monopoly on violence. Any action it takes is ultimately pre

Some people want to take additional assurances that they won't be blackmailed with explicit footage or find themselves on a revenge porn site. That sort of thing can make identity theft pale in comparison. Another aspect to consider ar

I've looked into this in the past and was not successful. `torify` doesn't work and aria2 doesn't have any option for configuring a SOCKS5 proxy. There's been quite a bit of discussion about this.[0] A cursory search sho

Agreed webui-aria2 is great. I wrote a little launcher script for it that configures the RPC secret, download directory, and other settings, starts aria2c, then opens up the WebUI in a Chrome kiosk. https://github.com/brbsix

Certain diets (the food and drink regularly consumed) make it much easier to decrease calorie intake. This is partially why it bothers me so much to hear "a calorie is just a calorie". "A calorie is just a calorie" if yo

Here's what I'm using, albeit a different approach. I don't have thousands of docs to worry about, so I just want a quick preview to ensure the PDF is created as expected. https://gist.github.com/brbsix/

wkhtmltopdf frustrates me to no end. I've even got a wrapper script to help iterate through it's various major versions and option flags in an attempt to get usable PDFs. I really hope this is a significant improvement.

At least the coding bootcamps are subject to market pressures that keep tuition (and subject matter) within the realm of economic reality. The fact that guaranteed subsidized loans are not available for them is probably of massive benefit.

He's suggesting that people are refraining from paying off existing debts, not that they're accruing new ones with the hope or expectation that they'll be absolved.

And people still say there's no higher education loan bubble. I suppose it's the same logic that argues the U.S. Federal government can never become insolvent (as it's the world's reserve currency and can simply print mo

You have a right to not have violence initiated against you (e.g. to not be murdered in your sleep). In order to keep this right, you just can't initiate force against someone else. Do you have a right to a "safe and secure societ

I'm a little confused. So you want to potentially give the police access to additional evidence (via your passwords/decryption keys) in the hopes that they will fuck something up or make a custodial error in the process of recover

At least he still has intact ear drums and door frame. Sounds fairly reasonable at least by contemporary standards.

If you're messing around with CP, why would you want to use your own exit node though? Why not just use someone else's? I suppose it might help mitigate the risk of de-anon attacks on the Tor network, but it still sounds pretty sk

I'm blown away that someone (obviously so security savvy) would willingly hand over their passwords. There's little sense accepting their assurances at face value in potentially serious matters. LE can and will lie pursuant to the

The OP's point about certain businesses disappearing is valid. Just as an example, pizza parlors may disappear. Instead that demand will be satiated by highly efficient instant delivery services (with no storefront and almost no staff)
